Alan Pardew will continue to be the figure who will address fans via all forms of media next season despite Joe Kinnear's arrival at the club

Alan Pardew will continue to be Newcastle United’s public face next season – despite the arrival of Joe Kinnear.

While the club’s new director of football has gone public on a range of issues in the wake of his return to St James’ Park, Pardew will be the man who Newcastle put in front of the cameras before and after matches.

And Pardew will be the figure who will address fans via all forms of media.

This situation was clarified during the pair’s meeting last week in London and rubber-stamped over the weekend by Kinnear.

Kinnear said: “The public face when addressing the supporters via the media will be Alan Pardew.”

Newcastle are also set to stick with the same backroom staff which has served them well during Pardew’s tenure on Tyneside.

Pardew has an incredible amount of faith in assistant boss John Carver and first-team coach Steve Stone.

At the end of last season he said: “John will be here as long as I am at the football club.”

Pardew has also said in the past that with Carver at the club a part of Sir Bobby Robson will live on.
